A Free Damp Survey That You Can Rely On
Our damp specialists are fueled by customer satisfaction. When we take on a damp proofing job, the focus is on our customers’ homes, well-being and also their peace of mind. That is why we conduct thorough and accurate damp surveys, completely free of charge. Whether it’s holes in your home’s roof or poorly installed windows that caused dampness to occur, our damp specialists will identify the root cause and put together an in-depth plan to rectify and future-proof your home from dampness.
What To Expect From Our Damp Surveys
To start with, one of our damp specialists will be round to your property on the required date and time, and a property investigation will start. In this investigation, the specialist will investigate the damp and analyse how much of it there actually is. Moving forward from this, they will then find the cause of the dampness, and put together a plan and method of action going forward to remove the damp, while also future-proofing it. Also, during this process, our damp specialists are also looking out for structural damage or signs of potential future damage that could be caused by the dampness.

Terribly disingenuous, do not use!
We asked London property preservation to sort a bit of damp in our lower ground in 2020. I did not want much upheaval as I had tenants in the house. They promised us all would be sorted with little disturbance and they would guarantee the work. I got a quote, accepted it (not cheap, but o they offered a guarantee). Once they arrive on site they told me there were additional works. They showed a video, again, we agreed and paid, no questions asked. Water started coming in again… it took ages for them to answer emails (the server was apparently down), I then had to pay for them to look at the damage and now they are coming up with every excuse in the book to wiggle out of repairs. It clearly is the area they repaired, the same problem as before. I paid, I kept all reports and videos.
These are not honest trades men. Don’t use them.

I noticed a damp patch on my wall and contacted a few local damp companies to come and carry out a quote. I chose to go with London Property Preservations recommendations due to their fair price and above average customer service, they answered any and all questions and concerns I had. The works were done within schedule & the operatives were clean, tidy and polite. I’ll definitely use them and recommend them to others.

We used LPP to survey and rectify a damp problem in one of our rental properties that we own in Purley. The surveyor came out and met us at the property. He looked at the problem, proposed a remedy and quoted a good price which was much more reasonable compared to other quotes we had. They also liaised directly with our tenants as well as keeping us informed at all times. A convenient date for the work to be completed was arranged. LPP were on punctual and polite, completed the work within the agreed timeframe and left the property clean and tidy. I was extremely impressed and happy as were our tenants. Thanks to all at LLP great job!!! would never go anywhere else and would recommend to anyone.

We used LPP to survey and rectify a damp problem in a flat we own in South Croydon. The surveyor came out and met me there. He looked at the problem, proposed a remedy and quoted (which was very reasonable compared to others). LLP liaised with the tenants of the property as well as myself and arranged a date for the work to be completed. On the date of works they turned up on time, completed the work to be done and cleared up after themselves. I was extremely happy as were my tenants. Thanks LLP and the team! I wouldn’t use anyone else now…. Thanks again.

Get In Touch
The first step for anyone worried about dampness in their home is to get in touch with a friendly member of the team. From there, they can help you arrange a free damp survey, based on your date and time requirements.

A Specialist Will Survey & Investigate Your Home For Damp
Once the damp survey has been scheduled, one of our damp specialists will be around on the specified date to begin the investigation process. This will be as hassle-free as possible, to ensure there are minimal disruptions in your home.

A Plan For Damp Removal & Damp Proofing Will Be Put Together
After our specialist knows exactly what work needs doing and what the cause of the dampness is, they can then put together a plan. This will go through what method of damp proofing needs to be taken, as well as extra recommendations to avoid any future issues.
What Are The Next Steps After A Damp Survey?
Once a specialist has visited your property and analysed the causes, issues and any potential structural problems, a plan can be put into place to rectify the situation. Many methods of damp removal and damp proofing can be carried out within your property, from basement waterproofing to rising damp solutions. Our team’s wide and extensive knowledge of damp solutions allows us to quickly analyse and come up with the perfect solution for your property. Then, once you have received a quote and given us the go-ahead, our work can begin.
Why & When Should You Book A Damp Survey?
Many people decide to get a damp survey carried out at different stages of the damp growth process. Some people decide to book a damp survey as soon as they have moved into a new property to ensure there are no issues going forward. While others may only feel it is necessary to schedule a survey once they have noticed the dampness themselves. While we always recommend booking a damp survey as soon as possible, our experts can handle any job, no matter the amount of dampness within your home.
Types of Damp Proofing
Basements are more prone to receiving dampness than other areas in a home, and therefore, basement waterproofing is a popular process for the team here. Rejuvenate your basement into a usable or living space by damp proofing.
Plastering
Our plastering and replastering services allow your walls to be revived from dampness. There are many possible causes for dampness occurring on your walls, which is why we put such a strong focus on providing leading-quality plastering services.
We specialise in providing solutions and treatments for any wood or timber surfaces that are struggling with dampness. Utilising the latest techniques and equipment, you can rest assured that London Property Preservation will take care of your dry rot treatment requirements.
Rising damp, although rare is very important to treat sooner rather than later. This type of dampness can cause structural damage in the long run and should be looked at by professionals as soon as possible.

Condensation is one of the biggest causes of dampness in UK homes, which is why condensation control solutions are crucial if your home is struggling with the correct levels of ventilation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I consider getting a damp survey for my property?
A damp survey is essential to detect and address any underlying damp problems early on. It helps prevent further damage to the property’s structure, minimise health risks associated with dampness, and potentially save on costly repairs in the long run.
Can a damp survey identify the root cause of dampness?
Yes, a professional damp survey aims to not only identify the presence of dampness but also determine the underlying causes. Based on the findings, the surveyor can recommend appropriate solutions, such as improved ventilation, repairs to damaged areas, damp-proofing treatments, or other necessary remedial actions.
Should I Prepare My Property For The Damp Survey?
Although our specialists know what they are doing and have spent many years providing these surveys, it always helps to save time if the area where dampness is present, is clear from furniture or any other obstructions.
How Long Does A Damp Survey Take?
A damp survey’s duration can depend on a number of factors such as the size of the property, the amount and severity of dampness, and more. However, the average damp survey takes around 3-4 hours to complete.
Are Damp Surveys Free?
Damp surveys at London Property Prevention are completely free and require no up-front payment. Our specialists will arrive on-site and make a thorough investigation which will then allow us to provide our customers with a plan of action as well as a quote.
